A small guide that explains how to contribute to Monero by being an UX developer. In short; monero-gui is a Qt5 application
and as such QML is used to draw stuff on the screen. QML is very easy to learn if you have a background in CSS/HTML - if not, it’s still quite easy.

This small introduction will show you how to modify menu buttons.

Foreword

This guide will take you through the following steps:

Ensuring we have the right compiler versions (gcc, g++, cmake, qmake)

Installing system dependencies

Cloning the monero-gui project from git and verifying that we can build it

Downloading Qt Creator (Editor for QML and Qt applications)

Configuring Qt Creator to run our monero-gui project

Making a change to the QML!
